Absolutely loved this, from Brazil (my favorite clip is at 2:14):

Some great stuff mixed with a little overkill. Who is the skater?

Well the names are in the video but according to https://blackmediaskate.com/secoes/fullvideos/linhas-de-fuga/ and if my understanding of Portuguese is good enough, this is presented as 'a personal project by Marcelo Garcia and friends'. I just realized there was a full article on that page, too, by Fábio Luiz Pimentel.

Marcelo is also interviewed about the project here: https://blackmediaskate.com/secoes/entrevistas/marcelo-garcia-e-as-linhas-de-fuga/ although I haven't gotten around to reading that yet.

Personally I find it poetic that there is what some would refer to as 'overkill'. It's only overkill if one is focused on a fictional kill count. Yes the concept could be pushed even further, but should it be? Not so sure. I liked seeing the differences in approach and as a whole the video completely worked on me.

That was getting philosophical, I liked that article. I especially liked the "non" spot with the Uakti/Philip Glass track. It kind of made it seem like he was playing. Going to bookmark this part.

Really nice to see Doh doh getting some love here. Watching him skate in person is magical, really talented skater. Let me share some gems from him:
